Flying Food Group LLC, a Lawrenceville, Ga., establishment, is expanding its recall of ready-to-eat chicken, turkey, beef and pork products by an additional 6,901 pounds, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The initial recall was issued July 19.

The products subject to the expanded recall include Starbucks “Chipotle Chicken Wraps Bistro Box," “Chicken & Hummus Bistro Box," "Salumi & Cheese Bistro Box" And “Chicken Lettuce Wraps Bistro Box," which were distributed to retail outlets in Alabama and Georgia. Also included are RaceTrac “Turkey Wrap,” “Chicken Caesar Salad,” “Chicken Caesar Wrap” and “Cobb Salad,” and F&L Café “Chicken Caesar Salad” and “Chef Salad.” The RaceTrac and F&L Café products were distributed to retail outlets in Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

The packages bear the establishment number "P-34373" or EST. 34373 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced between July 13 and July 24, 2011.

The problem was originally discovered as a result of microbiological testing conducted by FSIS on a sample of chicken incorporated into these products. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. The recall is being expanded after the firm received reports of test results that implicated additional product.
